The Carolina Panthers have a few more notable defenders at the ready for this weekend’s showdown in Munich, Germany.
On Saturday, the team officially activated outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum and safety Jordan Fuller to the 53-man roster. Both will be eligible to play in tomorrow’s Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants.
Wonnum, who signed a two-year deal with Carolina in the spring, may now be in line to make his team debut. The 27-year-old pass rusher tore his quadricep last December as a member of the Minnesota Vikings and has remained sidelined due to numerous setbacks stemming from the injury.
Before the tear, Wonnum tied his career-high in sacks (8.0) through 15 games in 2023.
Fuller, another one of the Panthers’ free-agent signees from this past offseason, has missed the last six games due to a hamstring injury. He recorded 15 tackles over three starts between Weeks 1 and 3.
The Panthers also elevated wide receiver Deven Thompkins and cornerback Caleb Farley from the practice squad. This game will mark Thompkins’ second call-up and Farley’s third.
